Detailed Description

First, technical terms related to the present invention are explained with reference to examples, and the terms are explained to enable those skilled in the art to more accurately understand the technical solution of the present invention, and are not construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

Commodity security

The article security referred to in the present invention includes article theft prevention and some other states of the article related to article theft prevention, such as a secure and normal or steady state of the article theft prevention device.

Generally speaking, merchandise theft prevention can be applied to some merchandise, such as electronic products, which need to be functionally displayed to a buyer or a potential buyer, some functions of the merchandise need to be known by a user in a use situation, the merchandise usually has some man-machine interactive interfaces, a exhibited person can contact and exemplarily or illustratively use all or part of the functions of the merchandise to know the performance of the merchandise, in the industry, the merchandise with functional display requirement is sometimes called merchandise with experience requirement, i.e. the exhibited person can operate and experience the merchandise in a limited condition and range, therefore, the merchandise is directly contacted by an experiencer, the experiencer can be in a limited range of a seller or an owner of the merchandise, for example, the articles can not be taken out of the sales site, and due to the ownership of the displayed articles, the articles belong to the seller or the article holder, so that the articles need to be taken out of the sales site, and the anti-theft measures do not limit the use of the experience and only limit the experience to be taken out of the sales site, and even in some cases, the anti-theft measures need to consider not to obstruct the use of the experience as much as possible, so that the experience can be better used, which is different from the carry-on anti-theft of articles in the mass sales. The commodity theft prevention of the invention can also be used in certain display or sale modes without experience, such as a rack for displaying and storing commodities, and can also be covered by the commodity theft prevention of the invention. The same theft protection is not provided with a commodity lock on the commodity, but the commodity is protected from theft in a whole layout and a remote or near unlocking mode through a controllable theft protection system or a theft protection device, and the theft protection in the invention can be a theft protection concept of an area or a place in a certain sense.

The state of the article anti-theft system may include the working state and the non-working state of the article anti-theft system, for the working state, if the article anti-theft system can work normally in the expected state, such as normal alarm, normal indication, etc., the system can be considered to be in the normal working state, otherwise, the system can be considered to be in the abnormal working state. In some preferred modes, the non-operating state of the article surveillance system may also be included, because the non-operating state may also relate to some performances of the article surveillance system, such as security of the system itself, or privacy or exclusion of the system, if the system does not have good exclusion, it is guaranteed that only devices in the system can communicate with each other, the system itself is not secure, there may be a certain peripheral device, and it may also be possible to control the devices in the system, that is, the system is easy to be "black", and in this case, security cannot be guaranteed, and therefore, effective setting is also required for the internal state of the article surveillance system.

In terms of commodity security, the commodity can be considered to be in two states of a secure state and/or an insecure state, the secure state and the insecure state are relative, and the commodity anti-theft method can be mainly used in terms of commodity anti-theft. The state of safety or non-safety in the present invention refers to the state of the displayed merchandise, especially refers to the state of the relationship between the displayed merchandise and the anti-theft device when the anti-theft device is installed, generally speaking, the merchandise is in the state that we believe will not be stolen, and is called the safety state, and we believe possible to be stolen, and is called the non-safety state, whether the anti-theft measure is intact, whether the displayed merchandise is under the protection of the anti-theft measure, if yes, we consider the safety state, if not, we consider the safety state, that is, this safety or non-safety state, may be relative to the anti-theft measure, for example, the anti-theft measure is to keep the displayed merchandise connected with the charging interface all the time, then the sensor detects whether the charging interface is connected with the merchandise all the time, if yes, the state is in a safe state, and if the connection is disconnected, the state is in a non-safe state; or, if the anti-theft measure is to keep the commodity in a charging state all the time, the sensor detects whether the charging cable of the commodity keeps power transmission, if so, the charging cable is in a safe state, and if not, the charging cable is in a non-safe state; or, if the anti-theft measure is that the commodity is clamped by the clamping device, the sensor detects whether the commodity is in the clamping space or whether the commodity is in contact with or installed on the clamping device, if so, the commodity is in a safe state, and if not, the commodity is in a non-safe state; and so on.

Controller

In the field of commodity theft prevention, the controller is an unlocking device to some extent, when theft prevention equipment such as an alarm gives an alarm sound, the alarm can be turned off through the controller, and the alarm stops giving the alarm, which is a function of the controller. Most controllers can function as both an unlock and a switch.

Monitoring device

The monitoring device in the invention can comprise a traditional commodity anti-theft device, such as an anti-theft device, an anti-theft host and the like, and can also comprise equipment related to commodity safety, the equipment can monitor and control the equipment in a commodity safety system, the monitoring mainly refers to the sensing, acquisition and even storage of some data information and state information, the control can be the comparison and judgment of the acquired information, so as to output some required commands, other equipment in an alarm system can execute the commands, and the execution of the commands can be the state of the alarm system, such as the sending of alarm signals and the like. The monitoring device can comprise a monitoring circuit and a sensing circuit, wherein the sensing circuit can be directly or indirectly connected or attached to a commodity or a commodity display device or installed in the environment where the commodity is located and used for sensing information required by some systems, the sensing circuit can send signals sensed by the sensing circuit to the monitoring circuit, and the monitoring circuit compares and judges the information sensed by the sensing circuit so as to judge whether a warning signal needs to be sent.

The monitoring device may send out an alarm signal, but the alarm signal is not necessarily the alarm state represented by the system, and the alarm state may be executed by other devices, for example, the executing device may be an alarm device.

Warning device

The warning device of the present invention may include a warning device in a conventional article surveillance system for emitting a warning signal, and may also include some devices capable of emitting other signals, such as a device emitting a prompt signal or a device emitting a warning signal.

Preset and configuration

The monitoring device and the warning device can be preset, the preset content can comprise a preset threshold value, a preset state and a preset function, and the preset object can be equipment in various warning systems such as a controller, the monitoring device and the warning device. In some preferred ways, the presets may also be considered a configuration, for example, the presets may be devices that are capable of configuring some of their internal functional or performance parameter settings.

The monitoring device is taken as an example to explain presetting and configuration, the presetting or configurable monitoring device can be preset and configured by other devices or peripheral devices in the system, and the content of the presetting and configuration comprises the system and the working state, the function and the performance parameters. The devices for presetting can configure the monitoring device through a preset threshold, a preset state, a preset stability threshold and a preset warning enable; the function, performance and state of the monitoring device which can be preset or configured are opened to other equipment or even peripheral equipment, so that the configurable monitoring device is greatly convenient to customize, and is more personalized and diversified.

For the preset threshold, the preset threshold may include a vibration sensing threshold, a movement sensing threshold, a magnetic field sensing threshold, a pressure sensing threshold, a connection sensing threshold, a current sensing threshold, a voltage sensing threshold, a light sensing threshold, an infrared sensing threshold, a temperature sensing threshold, and the like. In some preferred manners, the actual values of the thresholds may be obtained by the sensing circuit, and the configuration of the preset threshold may be limited by the state value of the sensing circuit, so that the state value has an upper limit and a lower limit, and the value of the preset threshold is within a limited range of the upper limit and the lower limit. The monitoring circuit in the monitoring device can monitor information sensed by the sensing circuit, and if the monitoring device monitors that the state value in the sensing circuit deviates from a preset state threshold value, whether the sensing circuit is in an abnormal state or not can be judged according to the preset state. If the monitoring device is in an abnormal state, the monitoring device outputs an alarm signal under the condition of alarm enabling; if the warning is forbidden, the monitoring device is muted; if in the normal state, the monitoring device is also muted.

For the preset state, the preset state may be classified into a normal state and an abnormal state. When the monitoring device is configured, the preset state can be configured to be a normal state under which condition, and to be an abnormal state under the rest other conditions, namely, the normal state and the abnormal state are redefined according to the requirements of customers; and, the monitoring device itself can redefine the normal state and the abnormal state according to its own state. The states that can be defined or configured in the monitoring device may include a safe state of the commodity and an unsafe state of the commodity, and may further include more detailed states, such as a connected state of the commodity, a disconnected state of the commodity, and an unstable state of the commodity, a charged state of the commodity and a non-charged state of the commodity, an connected state of the adapter, a disconnected state of the adapter, and an unstable state of the adapter. In the configuration and presetting of the monitoring device, the above states may be defined as a normal state and an abnormal state, the states defined by the normal state and the abnormal state being opposite two aspects. For example, if the normal state is defined as the safe state of the commodity, the abnormal state is automatically considered as the non-safe state defined as the commodity.

Therefore, the normal state configured and defined here is not a normal state in the conventional sense, and likewise, the abnormal state is not an abnormal state in the conventional sense. For example, conventionally, the connection state of the product is defined as a normal state, and the disconnection state of the product and the unstable state of the product are defined as abnormal states, and the monitoring device may also define the normal state and the abnormal state according to the conventional meaning. In addition, the monitoring device can define the disconnection state of the commodity and the unstable state of the commodity as normal states, and define the connection state of the commodity as abnormal states.

Therefore, what state the preset state is set to, whether it is the safe state of the commodity or the unsafe state of the commodity, is controlled externally. The monitoring device judges whether the state is a normal state or an abnormal state and needs to depend on a preset state. For example, when the preset state of the monitoring device is configured to be the charging state of the commodity, the monitoring device will determine that the commodity is in an abnormal state when the monitoring device monitors that the commodity is not in the charging state. On the contrary, when the preset state of the monitoring device is configured to be the non-charging state of the commodity, the monitoring device can determine that the commodity is in the abnormal state when the monitoring device monitors that the commodity is in the charging state; if the monitoring device monitors that the commodity is not in the charging state, the monitoring device can judge that the commodity is in a normal state.

The preset state supports not only user definition but also controller preset state. When the monitoring device is in an abnormal state and sends out the warning signal, the controller can remove the warning signal. The controller releases the warning signal by grading: when the controller button is touched for a short time, the controller releases the warning signal; when the controller button is touched for a long time, the controller releases the warning signal and changes the preset state. When the controller button is touched for a short time, the controller releases the warning signal of the monitoring device, and when the monitor releases the warning signal, the monitor continues to send the warning signal when monitoring the abnormal state again because the preset state is not changed. Different from the above, when the controller button is touched for a long time, the controller releases the warning signal of the monitoring device, the monitoring device preset state can be reversed when the monitoring device releases the warning signal, and at the moment, because the meanings of the normal state and the abnormal state are redefined, the state monitored by the monitoring device is the normal state, and the warning signal cannot be sent.

The preset state may also be changed according to the own state of the monitoring device. For example, when the antitheft article is connected to the monitoring device, the monitoring device may preset a state according to a connected state and an unconnected state of the antitheft article.

The monitoring device controls the judgment of the state value through the preset threshold value and controls the judgment of the abnormal logic through the preset state, and the judgment of the state value influences the judgment of the abnormal logic, so that the monitoring device controls the abnormal logic of the whole system through the preset state threshold value and the preset state.

The stability threshold may also be preset, where the stability threshold is a combination of a state and a threshold, where the stability is a state, and the stability threshold is expressed by a threshold. Stability is a characteristic used to characterize whether a monitoring device and its peripherals are working reliably. The monitoring device and the external thereof are provided with a stable state and an unstable state. When the monitoring device and the peripheral equipment thereof are unreliable in work, the monitoring device is set to be in an unstable state; and when the device works reliably, the device is set to be in a stable state. The stable state and the unstable state have an influence on the determination of the normal state and the abnormal state. The monitoring device and the peripheral thereof in the unstable state may be always determined to be in a normal state, may be always determined to be in an abnormal state, and may be determined to be in a normal state and an abnormal state alternately; the preset stability threshold value can be used for judging whether the monitoring device and the peripheral equipment thereof are in a stable state or an unstable state; the configurable stability threshold in the monitoring device is influenced by the nature of the actual monitoring device and its peripherals, or there are upper and lower limits of the stability value, or it is limited by the similarity threshold of the stability curve, or it is limited by the concentration threshold of the stability distribution.

Correspondingly, the stability threshold may be configured as a stability value, a stability curve, a stability distribution. When the monitoring device monitors that the stability of the monitoring device and the peripheral equipment of the monitoring device deviates or destroys a stability value, and/or a stability curve, and/or stability distribution, the monitoring device judges that the monitoring device is in an unstable state; when the monitoring device is in an unstable state, the monitoring device outputs an alarm signal under the condition of alarm enabling; if the warning is forbidden, the monitoring device is muted; if in steady state, the monitoring device is also muted.

In addition, a stability threshold value of the cable and the adapter may also be preset in the monitoring device, when the stability of the cable deviates or the stability threshold value is destroyed, it indicates that the cable is no longer reliable, the security device for theft prevention may be in a normal state at this time, and it may also be normally triggered to enter an abnormal state, but the cable still needs to be replaced, because the cable is no longer reliable, and may fail at any time, resulting in failure of the security device.

The alarm enable is a function that can perform a certain alarm operation, and the alarm disable is a function that is not temporarily performed even if a certain alarm operation can be performed or is not performed even if a certain alarm state is generated, and the alarm disable corresponds to the prohibition of a certain alarm enable. For the monitoring device, the monitoring device may be configured to be capable of outputting the warning signal, where the preset warning enable is to preset under what conditions the monitoring device outputs the warning signal outwards, and on the contrary, even if the monitoring device is capable of outputting the warning signal, the monitoring device does not output the warning signal under the condition that the monitoring device is not preset warning enable; for example, when the monitoring device and its peripheral are in an abnormal state or an unstable state, the monitoring device enables a configurable output warning signal through a preset warning. When the monitoring device is preset with warning enabling, and when the monitoring device and the peripheral equipment thereof are in an abnormal state or an unstable state, the monitoring device outputs a warning signal; when the monitoring device is not preset with warning enable, the monitoring device can not output warning signals when the monitoring device and the peripheral equipment thereof are in an abnormal state or an unstable state. The monitoring device outputs the warning signal, wherein the monitoring device outputs the warning signal or remotely outputs the warning signal in a wired/wireless mode.

The monitoring device is characterized by comprising a preset state threshold, a preset state, a preset stability threshold and a preset warning enabling which can be configured independently. Thus, a configurable monitoring device may have only a preset status threshold, or only a preset stability threshold, or only a preset status threshold and a preset status, and so on. The four preset modes can be randomly arranged and combined.

The presetting takes a monitoring device as an example, the warning device can also carry out corresponding configuration, the warning device can be preset to comprise a warning signal priority, and after the warning signal priority is preset, the preset warning signal can send a warning signal according to the priority sequence; the warning device may be preset and may further include a warning signal description, and in some preferred manners, the warning signal description may include the content of the warning signal, for example, if the cable is abnormal, the content of the warning may be the cable is abnormal, or if the connection is abnormal, the content of the warning may be the connection is abnormal; the warning device can be preset and can also comprise warning signal enable, the warning signal enable is similar to the warning enable in the monitoring device and is a certain function of the warning signal, when the warning signal enable is preset, the warning device can send the warning signal according to the preset warning signal enable, otherwise, the warning signal disable is possible, and the warning signal cannot be sent under the condition that the warning signal is not preset.

The preset content can be collectively referred to as a preset value, the preset value is embodied in the monitoring device and the warning device in a data packet format, the data packet format of the preset value is shown in a table in fig. 17, the payload format of the preset value is shown in a table in fig. 18, and the data format and description of the category and subcategory of the preset value are shown in a table in fig. 19.

Warning signal

In the present invention, the warning signal includes a warning signal for warning an abnormal state, which mainly refers to a state in which the goods and the equipment are abnormal, and a warning signal for warning an unstable state, which mainly refers to a state in which the wire is damaged and the life of the monitoring equipment is prolonged.

The two different types of warning signals may be generated differently, for example, the warning signal for warning an abnormal condition may be generated by: the monitoring device can preset a state threshold value, a preset state and a preset warning enable in advance, and the preset threshold value, the preset state and the preset warning enable can be adjusted through the peripheral device. The sensing circuit obtains a real-time sampling value through sampling analysis processing, and the sampling value is compared with a preset state threshold value, so that a new sensing circuit state can be generated correspondingly; and comparing the new state with a preset normal state to judge whether an abnormal state is generated currently. If a new abnormal state is generated, judging whether the state is enabled by a preset alarm, if so, converting the abnormal state into an alarm signal for alarming the abnormal state by the monitoring equipment, and then sending the alarm signal; if the alarm is not preset to enable, the monitoring equipment does not send out an alarm signal. The generation of the warning signal for warning of the unstable state may be: the monitoring device can preset a stability threshold value and a warning enable value in advance, and the preset threshold value and the warning enable value can be adjusted through the peripheral device. The sensing circuit monitors that the sampling value deviates from the preset stability threshold value through sampling analysis, and an unstable state can be generated. The detection equipment judges whether the state is enabled by a preset alarm, if so, the monitoring equipment converts the unstable state into an alarm signal for alarming the unstable state and then sends out the alarm signal; if the state is not preset to be warned, the detection equipment does not send out warning signals.

The warning signal can be directly sent out through the warning circuit of the monitoring equipment, and after the monitoring equipment sends out the warning signal, whether the warning circuit is idle or not can be judged firstly. If the alarm circuit is idle, the monitoring equipment converts the alarm signal into a human recognizable alarm signal through the alarm circuit according to the type of the alarm signal; if the alarm circuit is busy, the monitoring device will add the newly issued alarm signal to the alarm signal queue for later processing. Or the warning signal can also indirectly send out the warning signal through the external peripheral equipment; the monitoring equipment can send the generated warning signal to an external output device in a wired or wireless mode, and the external output device converts the warning signal into a warning signal which can be recognized by people after receiving the warning signal.

For the warning signal for warning the abnormal state, when the monitoring equipment receives an instruction of stopping sending the warning signal, the sending of the warning signal is stopped; then continuing sampling judgment, stopping sending the warning signal if the judgment result is not in the abnormal state, and continuing sending the warning signal if the judgment result is in the abnormal state; or the preset state of the monitoring equipment is modified to change the original preset state, then the state obtained by sampling is compared with the modified state, and the warning signal is stopped being sent when the state obtained by sampling is judged to be normal, otherwise, the warning signal is continuously sent. For the warning signal for warning the unstable state, when the sampling value of the sensing circuit is restored to the normal value range; or the preset stability threshold value of the monitoring equipment is modified, so that the sampling value is in the normal value range again; or the monitoring equipment stops sending the warning signal for warning the unstable state when receiving the sending stopping instruction. If the deviation distance of the sampling value of the induction circuit reaches a new range, the warning signal is sent again; or if the sampling value obtained by the sensing circuit is deviated from the limit range of the preset stability threshold value, a warning signal is sent, at the moment, the monitoring equipment receives a sending stopping instruction, the monitoring equipment stops sending and cannot send again, and if the sampling value of the sensing circuit is recovered to the normal range, the interface is judged again.

The warning signal can be classified into a visual warning signal (including light, image, etc.), an audible warning signal (including sound, etc.), a tactile warning signal (including vibration, etc.), and the like according to the sense of the person. In some preferred embodiments, the visual warning signal may be differentiated by color, red for warning, orange for warning, yellow for warning, and green or white for normal status. In some preferred forms, the audible alert may be differentiated by sounds of different frequencies, timbres, or intensities. In some preferred modes, in order to enhance the reliability of the warning signal, a visual form and an audible form can be adopted. In some preferred modes, the warning signal can be classified into an Alarm (Alarm), a warning (warning), a prompt (prompt), a message (message), etc. according to the urgency of the warning, and in some preferred modes, the urgency of the warning signal is decreased sequentially.

In some preferred modes, the warning signal can be a digital warning signal, and the digital warning signal can be used for wired or wireless transmission between devices. The packet format of the digital alert signal is shown in the table of fig. 14, wherein the payload format is shown in the table of fig. 15, and the priority, signal coding and alert enable of the alert signal is shown in the table of fig. 16.
